During the online Lessons for blended instruction,
Routines, and anchor lessons with anchor charts build concepts with clear, concise, easy explanations and definitions. Mentor texts model with accurate examples. Students create an interactive grammar notebook, a personal resource book. Full-color graphics and explicit notebook building is part of the lessons in Alice Nine’s online Grammar Boot Camps. Based on scientific research & best practices these grammar lessons align with the new ELAR TEKS and the ELPS and support gains in STAAR Writing.
